Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia Sign Mutual Defense Pact

Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia signed a mutual defense agreement on Friday, stipulating that an armed attack on any of the three nations will be considered an attack against all.

The United States announced sanctions on six entities and one individual linked to Iran's digital asset network following recent attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

US officials anticipate a deal between Iran and Oman in the coming days to restore commercial shipping, which would lead Washington to lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports.
